The Australian Association for the Manual Handling of People is pleased to announce our 2008 Conference to be held in Melbourne Australia from the 16th to 18th of April.

Our conference venue: The Sebel Albert Park (previously known as Carlton Crest) adjacent to the banks of the Albert Park lake makes the perfect base for exploring Melbourne, whilst still offering the serenity and relaxation of our fabulous parklands for those who like to exercise.

We look forward to welcoming you to Melbourne in 2008.

As the Theme depicts "Handle with Care" indicates our need to "Handle", as a focus on the practical concepts of people care & need for people contact and "Care", as in focus on the protection of the Carer.

The conference will present a unique opportunity for people who are concerned about the manual handling of people, to hear from experts in the field, update their knowledge and understanding, be exposed to the latest available equipment and to network with others from similar positions / organisations from all over Australia, New Zealand the USA and UK.
